I have a low smile line - what might be causing this & would a lip lift help? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I have a low smile line. What might be causing this? Could it be my frenum, the size of my lips, or something else? Would a lip tie correction or a lip lift procedure be helpful?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Best Wishes,

It is very likely that a combination of lip lift with orbicularis oris muscle resection would help your smile. Low positioned frenulum should also be checked during evaluation and corrected as needed. Good luck.
